Step 5: Creating Projects
Key Goals:
- Once their research is complete, and the students have a clearly identified thesis statement and supporting evidence, they can create their projects
- Students also must write a 500 word Process Paper that summarizes their entire experience with the program
Strategies
- Students must be clear on requirements prior to starting. They should consult the NHD Contest Rule Book often while creating their projects
- Post the category requirements around the room for easy reference
- All students should have a complete planning document or rough draft before starting to create their final project
- Students will try to create before they ever research. You must be strong; don't allow students to proceed with production until planning is complete
- Allow some in class time for students to work
- Be sure and spend some time going over basic design principles
- Share examples of student projects
- Do periodic checks of student work
- Have students complete weekly planners that outline their progress
